'DIMONS' SOFTWARE FOR AUTOMATIC DATA COLLECTION AND AUTOMATIC DEFORMATION ANALYSIS

摘要

The DIMONS (Displacement Monitoring System) software has been developed to support fully automated deformation monitoring schemes with automatic data acquisition. The software allows for a remote control and pre-programming of observations with robotic total stations and other sensors; fully automatic reduction and processing of positioning surveys; automatic identification of unstable reference stations using the Iterative Weighted Similarity Transformation; and automatic determination and graphical presentation of displacements of monitored points with their variance-covariance information. The software has been developed as a part of the Diamond Valley Lake automated monitoring system, a project run by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. 1.
